ABSTRACT Excess adipose tissue has been extensively studied due to its role in the development of chronic diseases and inflammatory conditions. Obesity and visceral adipose tissue (VAT, fat stored within the abdominal cavity and around organs) are associated with increased susceptibility to respiratory infections and chronic low‐grade systemic ...

Scientists in power plays: How substantive were scientists' narratives during the COVID‐19 pandemic?
Abstract Scientists who provide expert advice must engage with policy processes. Little is known about whether and how scientists deal with the political dynamics of policy processes that are inherent to policymaking. We study this question by building on the policy dimension concept within the Narrative Policy Framework.

Synthetic Ligands of Myeloid C‐Type Lectin Receptors
Binding of ligands to C‐type lectin receptors (CLRs) on myeloid cells can lead to an array of cellular responses. Exploitation of these receptors for therapeutic purposes requires high‐affinity ligands. This review surveys the diversity of synthetic ligands of myeloid CLRs in the context of binding, signaling, and downstream effects, as well as ...

Unlike deceased‐donor liver transplantation, living‐donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for Budd‐Chiari Syndrome (BCS) presents distinctive challenges in hepatic venous (HV)‐outflow reconstruction because diseased HV–inferior vena cava (IVC) cannot be entirely replaced with healthy donor vessels.

Surface‐Engineered Filters for Wettability‐Driven Collection of Airborne Fungal Spores
Plasma‐polymerized coatings are used to tune air filter wettability for selective airborne fungal spore capture. Hydrophobic PFO surfaces retain filamentous fungal spores, while hydrophilic POX surfaces preferentially capture Rhodotorula glutinis. The findings reveal that surface chemistry dominates over coating thickness and filter geometry in driving
